The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen-like perception, thinking, memory storage ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered new details about how the human genome produces instructions for creating ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...

Discover how individual neurons in the brain learn to recognize and predict patterns in the flow of time, providing insights into the structure of time.

Cells navigating in complex microenvironments frequently encounter narrow spaces that physically challenge migration.

Immune cells called regulatory T cells have long been known for their role in countering inflammation. In the setting of ...

The axon initial segment (AIS) is where nerve signals begin, and its adaptability is key to brain function. Scientists have found that the AIS changes in response to activity levels, helping neurons ...

The integrated application of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital pathology (DP) technology has opened new avenues for advancements in oncology and molecular pathology. Consequently, studies in ...

Pathogen-fighting immune cells called tissue-resident memory CD8 T cells (TRM cells) go through a surprising transformation -- and relocation -- as they fight infections in the small intestine.

Tissue-resident memory cells provide a local first line of defense against re-infection and call for “backup” from other immune cells and are also critical for maintaining peace in a tissue exposed to ...

Eating foods high in key nutrients, including iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, and limiting alcohol may help increase your red blood cell count. Red blood cells are the most common cells in ...
